My first camera

I was fifteen years old at that time. I had never owned a camera before. When my parents went on a holiday they asked what I wanted them to bring back. I asked for a camera. Of course, my parents didn't know the first thing about a camera, and neither did I. I only remembered what they bought me was quite a plasticky thing. I kept it for a long time but I never used it. I am grateful to my parents for listening to me and I believe it was that gift that triggered the love of photography in me. So today, on Mother's Day, I just want to say "Thank you, Mum!"
